Be careful H2O croutons are made from hydrogen hydroxide, which is known to cause death due to accidental inhalation, even in small quantities. It can also lead to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
More worried about the whiskey. Brings out the demons
Stick to vodka
Brings out the.....eastern European track suits?
Ok ok. I'm that guy. Isn't it dihydrogen monoxide?
Sorry. I'm a joke killer.
Dihydrogen Monoxide, Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, and Hydric acid can all be used to say the same thing in chemisty. H2O but a lot of people are familiar with the Dihydrogen Monoxide moniker so I prefer to use Hydorgen Hydroxide which is less known.
You chemists need to get your story straight. Having a million different names for the same thing points to a disorganized field. Y'all need to just stick with the IUPAC name for chemicals.
My ignorance for chemistry is probably showing...
I don't understand how Hydronium Hydroxide fits, could you elaborate?
It seems like that would be HHO ( hydrogen + hydrogen/oxygen), which I would think represents a different solution.
I only remember having chemistry classes twice throughout grade school, and I probably only had average scores.
Furthermore, if these alternate expressions are equally acceptable in the field, why aren't they used more commonly and why aren't they taught to students?
Well today I learned something new. Thank you.
